Haverford College is investing in an initiative to recognize and maximize the use of institutional data as a strategic College asset, a Core Action Area (T.5.1 and T.5.2) of the Haverford 2030 Strategic Plan.

This initiative will create an improved and sustainable infrastructure that will bring together and steward data from disparate sources for consistency, transparency, and accessibility.

The initiative consists of three main components: a robust data governance program, a cloud-based data warehouse and analytics platform, and ongoing training in data fluency.

These components will:

  • Improve data management
  • Provide a reporting/analytics platform for college-wide data stewards
  • Ensure accuracy and accountability of data for both external and internal reporting
  • Provide and foster a culture of data fluency, data sharing, and data informed-decision making


  • Data Access

    Bring together data from disparate sources for consistency, transparency, and accessibility.


  • Data Management

    Recognize and maximize the use of institutional data as a strategic College asset.


  • Reporting & Analytics

    Develop/improve a reporting/analytics platform for college-wide data stewards.


  • Data Quality

    Ensure accuracy of data and accountability for internal and external reporting.


  • Data Governance

    Design and build a foundation for an improved and sustainable data infrastructure.


  • Decision Making

Blending a robust data governance program, a cloud-based data warehouse and analytics platform, and ongoing training in data fluency calls on the talents and resources of multiple campus partners including IITS, Institutional Effectiveness, Institutional Research, and Records Management.
